grazie di nuovo==

This performance feels quite soul-less to me. Cold and detached really. Thank you for putting this up. Every artist is entitled to his point of view. I'm not a big fan of Gould anyway except for his Bach. I must say I liked his Chopin Impromptu #2 played at age 14 somewhat more. You had it on your site. Some great stuff there. I would encourage all to check out the other artists there. Regards.

His fingers work magic in this performance especially all the rapid running broken octaves which are my most favorite since kindergarten.

If I can remember you are the one who hosted the interview with Mr Glenn Gould on his very last recording project of his 1981 release of J S Bach Goldberg variation. I really like the insights from that interview.

grazie di nuovo

Gould did not restrict himself to Bach, he also played Byrd, Gibbons, Handel, Scarlatti, and Sweelinck. He even said Gibbons was his favorite composer. So it's not quite true, that he had very little interest in other Baroque music. This is a great posting, however, it tells a lot about how the young genius was already thinking about interpretation.

Only pianist who takes the "Prestissimo" seriously.

Too much staccato.

何を聴いてもグールドはグールドで、賛否両論あるのは当然の事。私のようないい加減な者は、面白ければそれでいいw

He has everything needed to be a mature musician and at the age of just 15 here!

15:42 my favorite part

only interpret that can render the piece properly aside the computer

12:53 ... elephantesque ... a beethovenian fugue is EMOTIONNAL, dear Glenn, and not this kind of boring recitativo. (14:34 a disaster .... when you feel nothing, take a shower or go to the swimming pool, would be better than to play the opus 110)

I prefer the fast one.

Gould: the best

I can hear his voice 😮

Please keep publishing these marvelous clips and stories about Gould! I am fascinated by his life... It is tragic that nobody has found a recording of one of Beethoven's sonatas that Gould had a storied interpretation of; I think it was in A Major...

Драгоценная запись! ❤

Marcelle Meyer is much more better... ruclips.net/video/hiTy2lNivXk/видео.html

There is some data about goulds younger concerts, and in 1946 oct.28 he played a chopin impromptu, no op given. That would probably it, this recording is from 1946 in my opinion

It’s quite ironic that Gould calls Chopin a “master setter of moods” yet insists that his music does not convince him. If music is not all about setting moods, then what is it? There’s a reason why we have terms like Allegro, Adagio, Andante, Vivace, etc, from the very beginning the composer tells us the mood he is seeking for his piece. If Chopin is the “master setters of moods” then how can you even dislike his music. Paradoxically, the musician he most likes, the ultimate master setters of moods is Bach, because he captures the whole range of moods beautifully. How come he doesn’t dislike Bach? Because I’m sensing mood setting is bad argument.

I try to listen to anything Gould took time to play... however-- I can't stand Brahms and Schoenberg leaves me cold. However, he could read a phone book if one could find one and I would listen. The hell with AI.. this is II intelligent life... a dream of the past, I fear.

Very much miss Monsieur Poulin.

Pure bullshit!!

Nice! Where can I find the sheet music of this suite please? Thank you very much!

I didn't even know he did this (any Grieg at all). Lovely.

Sounds like he made a big mistake in the first movement when he plays the arpeggio in a lower octave in the exposition. (beginning at 2:18). That's supposed to be in the recapitulation section.

There's something wonderful about listening to a pianist who doesn't like Chopin actually play Chopin. Gives perspective.

Very unusual pianist who apparently only felt comfortable playing Bach

Il senso di struggimento della caducitá della vita trova nella quarta ballata il suo apice.

Просто чудо!

One may comment or critisize whatever concerning Gould, but one thing is certain - Glenn Gould was, is and will be an AMAZING musician in the best sense of this word. Listening him is such a joy and satisfaction.

This is the easiest part. The first half of the song is trickier than all of classical music by liszt.

Well I get that he didn't like chopin, when he plays it like this. He was a musical genius no question, but he didn't seem to understand chopin as well as he understood bach at all

Gould renamed this "apathetic"

In respect of tempo, dynamics and articulation the interpretation of the fantasia is exactly in line with Mozart's score. The fantasia is a set of variations on a theme in the late baroque style (Haendelian) showing a transformation through the variations via the classical style, which departs very considerably from the baroque fixed bass style. I did not understand this fantasia for many years.

What would be the Dancer analogy to Gould's unique noisy pianism?

Cannot imagine a worse "performance,' devoid of feeling, musicianship, thoughtfulness, AND technique, eviscerating Chopin's mastery of harmony, melody, rhythm. polyphony, textutre, form, and pianism.

невозможно слушать.... он издевается над Бетховеном...

This Sonata is like.... if Bach has lived 200 years and composed one piano sonata.

this recording is really nice and im enjoying it a lot so far, but saying that he stays true to the score is just plain wrong? besides the constant change in articulation (not just in the left hand) there are some pretty strong tempo liberties in the second movement (not the tempo choice, but the consistency) as well as blatant disregarding of many dynamics. I think most of what Gould does is quite close in spirit to what Beethovens contemporaries might have allowed themselves, but from a way more modern perspective. definitely very unique and fascinating. that's one thing I love about Gould. you may like his choices or not but he always brings something new to the table and questions conventions and norms which I think is very admirable.

Sérieux mettre des pub …

The second movement, according to Beethoven, is Andante con moto. Gould plays absolutely beautifully. Largo.

The best

Musically, GG is like a chocolate cupcake with layers of vanilla ice cream, topped with whipped cream and a cherry "That yummy-yum, that yummy-yummy" - Justin Bieber

his 3rd movement is head and shoulders above everyone. there are better, more consistent entire readings from top to bottom that I've heard thus far and are certainly more faithful to the score; Lang lang for all his faults takes some chances with this piece to his credit while Gilels, Arrau, Perahia, Pollini are spot-on. But when Gould is great, he's on another planet. this 3rd movement is...wow - only hearing Horowitz approach this. Gould just had a clarity and articulation through every finger that nobody else has or had, along with a sense for when the dominant melody should shift from the right to the left and dynamics that sorry, nobody can really touch. Richter plays this in a far more rapid fashion but it almost seems like he's assaulting the piano doing it. To call this reading a scandal; people need to get a grip. Gould has merely given another version of the music, a testament to the brilliance of the composer that it can be interpreted this way and remain striking and exceptional.

The first movement should have been the last one and vice versa.
